_mournthewickedPairing: Jensen/Jared
Rating: R
Word Count: ~ 50,000
Summary: All Jensen has ever wanted to do is see the ocean. Unfortunately, that's kind of hard to do when your dad won't let you leave your house in the forest because of your magical powers. So, Jensen spends most of his days with no one but his pet hedgehog to keep him company. At least, until a guy named Jared stumbles along and offers to help him realize his dream. (A J2 spin on Disney's Tangled.)
Title:
Choosing HappinessAuthor:
rocketbalmPairing: Jensen/Jared
Rating: R
Word Count: 34,363
Summary: Jared worked through his years as an awkward gay teen by always having a sketchbook with him, turning his love of drawing and story telling into a successful career as a graphic novelist. His love/hate relationship with Jensen Ackles, his brother's best friend, insinuates itself into every area of his life, even after years of not seeing each other. When Jared is asked to guest judge during San Antonio's Food and Wine festival, an event Jensen is hosting, their tumultuous relationship comes to a head. Between great food and wine, they are thrust out of the frying pan and into the fire, with emotions and feelings coming to a rolling boil. Question is, will either of them make it through to enjoy dessert?
Title:
Instinct & TasteAuthor:
kelleighPairing: Jensen/Jared
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 45,400
Summary: As a young chef trying to break into the sizzling hot world of Charleston cuisine, Jensen Ackles spent more time in the kitchen than he did sleeping, eating, or socializing; he was absolutely dedicated to his craft and to the mentor who’d given him a chance. When all of that work paid off in a big way, Jensen was thrilled, but from the moment he accepted his dream job, other aspects of his life began to sour, quickly.
Now, shouldered with the extra burdens of caring for his brother’s house and keeping his job safe from a brown-nosing new sous chef, Jensen tries everything, up to and including therapy, to keep his life from boiling over. It’s not until he hires college senior Jared Padalecki that things start to turn around, and Jensen learns that if he can stand the heat, fate might cook up something even better.
Title:
The Extra Light SwitchAuthor:
checkthemarginsPairing: Jared/Jensen (Jensen/Danneel, Jensen/OFC, implied Jared/OMCs)
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: ~ 60,000
Summary: Season four takes a lot from Jensen: his girl, his sanity, his ability to know where Dean ends and Jensen begins. It almost takes his best friend away too, but he and Jared find their way back. Jensen's got an empty apartment, and Jared's got a house that's always been a home, so Jensen moves back in and life returns to normal. Jensen and Jared, taking on the Supernatural and the Greater Vancouver Area.
Four years later, filming of season eight starts with a bang-casual liaisons in the foyer, blinding jealousy, girls and dogs and drama, oh my. Jared's hiding something, smiling way too much, and obsessing over an extra light switch in the living room. And Jensen? Well, Jensen's realizing that he might be falling in love.
It's messy, but no big deal. Things are good.
Mostly.
Really.
So long as Jensen can survive it with his sanity-and his heart-intact.
